All of a sudden everytime I make a backup with latest version of spb backup I get, at the end, a file verification error
backup file is created but when trying to restore it says again file verification failed.
tried googling and searching on spb forum but found nothing.
any idea?
shall i move to sprite backup? differences with spb backup?
Have this once in a while:
Go to Your backup location on SD-Card, delete all corrupted files (they have no SPB-Icon), do a new full backup by hand and everything is fine again ........
small chance, but check if the storage card is not full, I seem to recall invalid backups due to lack of space

Hi
Just wanted to know if a backup was performed by selecting all data, would it save all the programs stored in storage memory too also my text messages and what else?
The "All data" option of xBackup will backup all data in volatile RAM; since RAM is further divided into program and storage portions, both program and storage data will be backed up. To make is easy to remember, xBackup backs up everything that you'd lose if you do a hard reset.
Storage and Storage Card data are not backed up.
Hope that helps.
I made a backup with Xbackup,
So you tell me, if I perform a hard reset, xbackup can place all my settings, docs and programs back???
that's great news !!!
Yes, that's what xBackup is meant for. 8)
On a few ocassions when newly-installed software causes problems with my Mini, I will do a hard reset and restore from xBackup.
I used to use xbackup for my Magciain and had been able to restore all my programs and data from a hard reset.
But it recently failed me, twice! When I needed it after a hard reset, it gave me an error message and said the backup is not for this machine. Maybe it was due to the softwares I installed but I don't care. Now I've switched to Sprite Backup which is much much faster, takes up half the storage space and much more reliable. Looking back, xbackup is just crappy.
I had just the opposite experience: I switched from Sprite Backup back to xBackup.
No doubt Sprite Backup is much faster and allows me to select what I would like to backup or restore, but this caused me to revert to xBackup:
1. Installed errant software, ending up with lots of DLLs etc in the Windows folder.
2. Decided to restore with Sprite Backup with an image prior to the software installation.
3. Still saw old DLLs in the Windows folder.
I concluded then that Sprite Backup didn't restore cleanly; the same scenario with xBackup worked wonderfully; no old DLLs.
Besides, I kept losing my custom ringtones and Contact ID photos (I am using a Mini) whenever I restored from Sprite Backup. xBackup works for me.

You get this error message with Activesync restore if your Regional Settings are different. e.g. you backed up while set to the UK but are trying to restore on machine with the default USA setting. It will also give this error if the OS is a different version (e.g you applied a firmware upgrade). Because of this, it's worth indicating the region and firmware level in the backup filename for future reference.
Maybe xbackup is the same? Try changing the region before you restore.
i've just bought 2Gb memory card for my atom exec...i use to install all my software in my phone memory before,but it seems that the space in not enuff..so,shud install all the software into the memory card,and left the phone memory empty?shud i hard reset my phone b4 i install all the program into the mmry card?how bout the contacts that i save in my phone memory?how to transfer it?
TQ
try to use pim backup.....try to search.....
Use SpB Backup. Specify custom backup and choose PIM email etc and it will back up only contacts SMS, email etc. Then you can choose where to put the backup, choose storage card.
The good thing about SpB Backup is that is creates an executable backup file and if you later flash your PDA like I do constantly with these new ROMs you just double click the exe and it will re install all your contacts and emails.
The problem with PIM backup utility is that once you flash your device you actually need the PIM backup program installed before you can use the backed up data, not so with spb backup.

yeah, that is correct. But for most cases, almost all cooked ROM are equipt with pimbackup so no need to install it right? it's quite handy and doesn't eat up resources or create large file.
On the contrary with SpB Backup, I would not recomment to use it if your going to reflash your unit to a new ROM(unless it's just a plain HR then go ahead and use it). Since every ROM is different, SpB Backup may cause unstable condition and eventualy crashes the unit forcing you to do another HR or even reflash.
Hi all,
My Defy green lens is on Quarx CM10 2013-03-18 ROM, I have an issue when I want to restore a nandroid backup.
CWM displays "error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure" at the end of the process.
I have tried a lot of things to get rid of this but no luck :
- I tried to search on XDA forums, no luck. No appropriate answers...
- I googled it, no luck.
- when I try to do a "utimate full wipe", then flash again CM10, restore my data and make an nandroid backup, then, finally, when I want to restore my nandroid, it says "error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure"
- I tried to format my sdcard, no luck after a new try of backup / restore.
- I tried to move all my app on the internal memory instead of the sdcard, then tried to do a new nandroid backup. Then again, I have the same message "error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure".
I know there is more recent builds but I still use 2013-03-18 because, IMO, it's the last stable one.
If I do the same with CM7 ROM, I haven't this issue about android_secure !
Any ideas ?

I have never been able to restore .android_secure with any CWM version. I extract the backup into the folder.

So, I just have to restore my Nandroid backup, ignore the error message, reboot and then, once booted on Android, extract android_secure from backup to sdcard android_secure folder ? That's all ? It works like this for you ?

Yes, this works for me (And reboot after extraction). Make sure system and data are restored properly though.
error restoring .android_secure
Hi I understand this thread maybe dead but I recently restored a nandroid from a 4.1.2 ROM and .android_secure had an error, I have read the above posts about rebooting (ignoring the error message) but when I look in sdcard I already have a folder called .android_secure and on the extsdcard I also have a folder called .android_secure but this one is empty, the one on the sdcard has data on it.
Therefore, I have some apps on the phone as I should have, and others are simply not there or are highlighted as not being installed.
From the above posts you talk about taking the backup nandroid and finding '.android_secure folder' and placing it onto the sdcard under .android_secure folder name, but given I already have a folder and data there do I delete the one already there or is this simply the same info being overwritten?
I have also tried to install missing apps/data via TB but this freezes or at least it doesn't process the install.
I figured if I sorted out the .android_secure this moght allow the missing apps/data to be installed from a reboot, is this anyway right?
Also, I do believe the apps that had been moved to the extsdcard are the apps that I'm having issues with, but given I have a TB backup then what issues would be that prevents them from being installed from the TB backup aswell (or are they separate issues), as I said they stall/freeze on install from TB.
All I want it my apps/data back, I have the info on the phone for sure, just how to execute it that it isn't painfully slow or repetitive for me to do, gaining the apps/daa back.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Did you reload the app view? Used android 5+ provider selection for? Did you have the backups in internal or external SD card?
